[Epic 4G Android Development] 1999TL:
well i can't find D18. trying to look for the odin files for it, so I'm kind of stuck right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
I'm sorry but I'd like to know which themes and mods are confirmed to work with the ext-4 journaling on

I just want the gingerbread theme and the no am/pm mod

I'm afraid to try anything as I despise Titanium Backup :/
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Journaling ON or OFF doesn't matter as far as themes are concerned. Not sure why you don't like titanium but you should at least make a nandroid backup... Hope that helps.If you want to flash a theme go ahead. Then flash the remove clock zip from my blog. Hope this helps..

Ok I'm trying to use the total protection app from Sprint and its saying that I have an unsuportted device. Does anyone one know what's missing that I need to reinstall to get it working again? I would really appreciated it, thanks.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
On this thread http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-s/305422-sprint-total-protection-app.html (though it is a different phone) they said all was working until the OTA. At which time the app stopped working. Perhaps that is what is going on with you.

You could try to Odin back to DI18 and see if it works; then OTA to EC05 and retest (staying 100% stock). That should give you your answer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
The app probably needs updated to recognize the new version number....maybe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
No because the app was working with the stock EC05 update. Thanks for the suggestion tho. I will play around a little more to see if I can find anything out.

Ill try this out and see what happens.

Edit: No it was not that. I dont know why its not recognizing my device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The TEP app rarely works with custom ROMs, and by all reports shouldn't even work with EC05. I see no reason to use the TEP app - for one thing, Sprint has no need to know what you do on your device, and that app just opens another potential hole. Paranoia aside, there are far-superior solutions for device location and other security features. Give Lookout on the Market a try - you'll not only get those features, but the best Android anti-malware out (Lookout seems proactive, and when there's an Android malware scare, they'll be the first ones to publish a detailed analysis). There are other apps, if Lookout isn't your taste, like Where's My Droid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Okay so I am going to move on with the app not working. So can anyone help me with finding out why my battery says full charge at 88%?? I had it charged to 100% about half an hour ago and then put it on a charger to transfer some music onto it from my computer and 2 min later it blinks and says full battery?? I unplugged and then plugged back in and put charging and in like 30 seconds it said the same thing. Any idea why and what to do to fix? Ive already tried clearing battery stats and now it charges up to about 90% and then says its fully charged. Now while typing its saying its 100% charged, but when I just unplugged it, it drops down to 88%?? Whats really going on here??
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
I've been experiencing major data lock up issues today(the day I meet a new girl lol) I have to restart the phone turn off data services and go into airplane mode, I have yet to try to flash the theme so its not that....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leeboy:
Has anyone else had a problem using different launchers with this rom? I tried installing ADW Launcher, which installed, but when I go back to my main stock launcher screen and tap the home button no option comes up that says "complete action using........". Every other rom I've been on U can choose Ur default launcher this way. What gives......?
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
Bump. Can someone try this pretty please so I can isolate the issue from the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Did you download Google Voice Search to enable voice synthesis? No voice enabled feature worked until I installed this app. I hope that helps if I understood the question correctly
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
This rom seems to be smooth second time around oc at 1.2 and min 100 pretty straight
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Same problem too thought it was the v4 honeycomb theme but I wiped 3x and reflashed and all is well with theme so far. Now just wondering when 5.2 is coming out
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Nope The voice button on virtual keyboard doesn't work for me either.

Edit: Is there a fix for this? Im going to try the google search app and see what happens.

Edit2: Yup installing google voice search fixed it. Thanks guy whoever suggested that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
So no upgrade love for Journaling On ROM? I see the no journaling got a 5.2 update. Anything new or good coming to us?:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Hey, glad I could help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
^ Still not working for me while texting, unless I do it from the google search bar. I realized its easier doing it that way anyway with voice commands, so I'm fine with it. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
ptfdmedic Nice ROM

i have followed your work, But today i first flashed it (5.1 rfs) on my phone. Got every thing just about setup how i like it and then i tried to play an .mkv video i have on the phone that played fine on DI18 & i think it did on EB13.

Installed "Stock Audio&Video Package (Divx).zip" it kinda makes me as i have never tried to play a file on my Epic that it would not play until now.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your time on the SGS Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
I keep getting fc on browser when trying to save an image from the web. Something like process com.android.browser

That's the first fc I seen with 5.1so just seeing if anyone else has noticed or maybe its just me idk
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
Just tried it, works for me. But I'm still on v5 so I'm not sure if this helps you.

roam control problems

Im having the same problems with roam control. It seems to not want to pick up a data connection and when it does it looses it quite frequently. Im curious if there are any fixes out there for this??
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Well if u hit 5.1 let me know k
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
^ I may not update because I've never had such a bugless rom before and I'm a little tentative to update especially since it seems the upgrades are more feature based than bug repair.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Are you refering to v5.0?

Sent from my ComBadge..
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
Yes, right now I'm running v5.0 ext4 journaling on and loving it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Prince_Basil:
I have a couple questions & hopefully I don't get shot for this... Haha.

So I'm currently using midNIGHT ROM 5.1 (Standard Edition) - Journaling ON with the Honeycomb Battery Theme. I also have a couple add-ons flashed too. Mostly ringtone .zips.

I know the ROM has the Bonsai Kernel in it & I just wanted to know, what should the settings in SetCPU be? It seems like when I flashed this version, my battery life started becoming worse & worse. I've been using midNIGHT since close to when it started being developed & this is the first time I've had horrible battery life.

Currently SetCPU is set on Min: 200MHz & Max: 1.0GHz on conservative. I used to be able to go an entire day without having to charge my phone & still have light use, & now it seems like any little use will drain the battery completely. :(

Also, since flashing this ROM, I've noticed that I don't have very good reception in my house. I'm constantly going into roaming & most of my texts don't go through the first time. Usually I gave four or five bars, but since using 5.1, I've been having 0-2 bars. Never anything more... :/

I hope I gave enough info. I'm also on EC05 OTA. (Flashed EB13 through Samsung's "ODIN" type installer, then downloaded EC05 OTA.) I also have EXT4 on my phone. Thanks! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
You first may want to check if Sprint is doing work in your area. I had issues for two days and found out they were working on something. The phone searching for signal uses battery big time. As far as SETCPU, it sounds like you have the best setup for battery as is. You can try the Genocide 1 kernel instead and download Voltage Control app and actually mess with undervolting to help with battery. If you do, make sure to read OP
[Epic 4G Android Development] Prince_Basil:
Thanks! I really appreciate it! :) Yeah, for the past week, my voice/data hasn't really worked. So maybe I'll give them a call & find out what's going on. Thanks again! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
Good luck. I have the best battery life since installing this ROM. I would leave my phone unplugged over night with stock and previous roms and practically dead battery in 8 hours.. sleeping! Now I lose 10% if that even. With the phone on though this thing is a battery hog no matter what you do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Prince_Basil:
So... I have tried the whole Voltage Control thing. I can't seem to get the kernel to go over 1.0 Ghz. I even set the thing to cfq & 1200 MHz. So I'm not sure... But I undervolted the 1.0 GHz by -75 & the 800MHz the same. Then I undervolted 200MHz by -50. My battery lasted quite a while, but I'm wondering if I can try doing it lower. How do I test it though? I run Smartbench 2010 & Smartbench 2011 & Quadrant. I get horrible scores with Smartbench 2011. Running these apps, does it help? Does it test if I've undervolted too much or whatever?
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
Sorry for the mix up, I think John Corleone recommended the voltage app. I personally don't over clock because my phone is never stable at 1.2 on any kernel. With this ROM I'm scoring 1500+ and I'm more than happy with that.

I don't run any battery control or app killers anymore personally they seemed to do more harm than good for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
Rob, or anyone else that might know. I was reading the thread about manually updating PRL's. In this rom, I am able to do a PRL update through the settings menu and it goes through all the motions and seems like it works.

Can someone confirm that this is not something we need to worry about? If not it doesn't seem like a big deal to push it manually but I would rather avoid it. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
prl doesn't update for me through that method. I get "Error: Unknown Error"
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Just updated mine using the settings menu.

You can check to be sure it updated by first checking settings -> about phone -> status -> PRL Version.

Then check for a PRL update; if it said it did an update, go back to status to see if the version changed.

Hope that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
Thanks! Somehow I couldn't figure that out LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
The real reason I wanted to make sure my PRL was up to date is because my brother has a stock unrooted EVO on Sprint and his phone gets 3.5Mbs 4G in my house and I only get 1.5Mbs in the same exact spot. My 3G only gets 500kbs and his goes 1.2mbs. (averages) I don't think its the rom because we did the same test when I was on Nebula and similar results.

Is it just the modem in our phones or does someone know something?

edit: what's weird is when I visited my parents in Jersey, I was averaging 10mbs down during off peak hours.. same as his phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
That is strange; I had to turn off 4G. It was killing my battery connecting and disconnecting. It may be due to the modem; where a certain level of connection is needed for epic that is different than evo's. Just guessing. A friend has an evo and they get much better 4G at my house. I hope at some point that improves.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I just tried to do the update and get an internal error. I have been doing the manual updates for a few month now with no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
ptfdmedic (or anyone else)

If we're running the standard version of 5.1 journaling ON, is it safe to flash the "midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Standard Upgrade.zip" to upgrade to 5.2, or is this only for the journaling OFF version? I looked in the zip and it looks like it might work, would like confirmation though...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
That extras flash is what it takes to go from the BYOR version (with no apps) to a standard config .. google apps and such ... and that 5.2 is just updated with things that changed from the standard upgrade included with 5.0

Guess that is the long answer of saying No, you need to wait for 5.2 RFS if you want to stay on that file system.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Thanks for the info, but I'm on the "journaling on" v5.1 with ext4 file system, not rfs. You can use journaling on or off with either file system. So I'm still not sure what the right answer is...
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
I'm pretty sure 5.2 has only been released for journal off version of Midnight. Not sure what would happen if you flashed it over journal on version though.. probably not worth the risk,
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Right; you need to wait for 5.2 update of the ROM from this thread.

The dev has a few things going on right now, so it may be a few days before that happens.

You could always use the journaling off, it is safe, as long as you shut your phone down properly, aka .. don't use quick boot, 4-finger to recovery or kill battery to where the phone shuts off.

edit: i've used quick boot and not had issues but I dont use it often, I've tried 4 finger and while cool; i got a boot loop after using it as it corrupted files and read horror stories of people running their battery down and then had to reflash because of corruption.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
midNIGHT ROM v5.2 is live... Come and get it.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
gotta say this is the best rom i have ever used....no problems what so ever....yet neway lol.....going to work and not having the phone randomly act up is the test i guess .... only thing i notice is that gps is saying accuaracy to 3000 meters ......wich seems pretty far lol.......ne way to fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Just a FYI, the lost and tired site says this will NOT wipe data and does a restore....unless I mis-read it.

I hope this rom is as stable as the previous ones....you do great work....
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
So for users that are on v5.1, do we have to ODIN back (don't want to do that because then I will lose all my data and start over) or can we apply the v5.2 standard upgrade.zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
One of the zip files I tried flashing wiped all data. I'm trying the other zip to see if it just upgrades from 5.1 to 5.2 without wiping all data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Yeah, that is why I was saying that. It wiped my data too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
THIS WILL WIPE DATA AND DOES NOT BACK UP AND RESTORE.... I'm fixing the blog. Sorry about that. Really tired and it was a typo....
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
Is the Odin step needed if we are on 5.2 no journaling or can I just wipe and flash the journaling on, on top of this. Would love to skip Odin if possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
I ran the upgrade file and it restored my data.

So far I've only had to reinstall the email apk because after the upgrade, opening the email program was giving me a FC.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It would only be needed is you wanted to go to the RFS file system. If you want to ext4 then you can just flash....
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
First, thanks for the awesome update. Great work.

I'm wondering if you could clarify one thing. I've read the OP and everything on the lostandtired site, but still a little unclear. If I had previously flashed the "midNIGHT ROM v5 (No Tweaks Edition) EXT4/CW3 NCIQ" (journaling ON), then the "midNIGHT ROM v5.1 Patch for ALL midNIGHT v5 ROM’s with journaling ON" patch to upgrade to v5.1, and now I want to upgrade to v5.2, all I have to do is flash the "midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Standard Upgrade.zip", correct? That zip will upgrade someone who is currently v5.1, ext4, journaling ON to v5.2 (understood that it will wipe data - though I just saw that someone posted the upgrade zip restored data)?

I've never installed one of the BYOR versions. I want to make sure I don't first have to odin and install "midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Journaling ON (BYOR) EXT4/CW3 (BASE ONLY)" if I'm already running v5.1. I'm assuming the instructions for v5.2 journaling ON on lostandtired are for new users, not upgrade users.

Sorry if I'm asking a question with an obvious answer, just want to be sure.

[EDIT] I see the odin question has already been answered, still unclear on the other part though (i.e. can I just flash the v5.2 standard upgrade zip and nothing else)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Anyone else having issues with lostandtired.com??? Seems to hang on polldaddy.com loading... chrome giving me page fails... anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
You flash the 5.2 ROM and then the standard upgrade zip from v5 midnight extras then the 5.2 standard upgrade zip. the 5.2 standard upgrade contains only the apps that needed updating to go from 5 to 5.2, not the ROM files.

Hope that helps; good luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Looks like its ok now; guess that polldaddy site had some issues earlier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
So, is this update just adding journaling? Or is there some other tweaks too?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Oh interesting, so even if you're already on 5.1 (ext4 journaled) you still have to flash the full v5.2 ROM and the v5.2 upgrade?

Last night I tried flashing just the v5.2 standard upgrade.zip over 5.1 (without flashing "midNIGHT_ROM_v5.2__BYOR_Edition_EXT4_Journaling ON.zip"), and now my phone says it's running v5.2. I thought the main changes from 5.1 to 5.2 were apps and libs, so this made sense to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
This whole thread is the separate versions with journaling on, but you MAY be able to switch from a 5.x w/o journaling to this w/ journaling, but Im not sure... the easiest/best way for any flashing IMO is doing EXACLY what the Dev says for any given flash, that way if you have issues, the Dev or other members dont have to start at the beginning (is your phone powered on, sir?) to help troubleshoot. If you dont have a data backup and restore (which seemed to cause me more probs than they are worth), might as well start from Odin, you're losing all your data and apps anyways. Its just a couple quick steps, given you have Odin and the one clicks working as they should. I used to hate them, then got my drivers in order, etc, now theyre my best friend.

Also, Jdelano- so you saw the polldaddy thing? Or was that just Chrome?? I installed firefox again, first time in a couple years, and it worked fine, but lostandtired was giving me the 'oh, snap' error (cmon google, dont try to be down with the kids, its silly), and then I switched back to the tab w this thread open, and XDA gave me flash/shockwave issues... seems a big prob for chrome... think Ill try firefox for a bit, it had just gotten too bloated for a bit. Anyways, If it was the polldaddy thing, makes sense, because lostandtired was crashing an unknown plugin. Damn you pronhub ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
The only issue I have come a cross so far is that handcent sms gets forced closes, so I have to use the standard sms. Not a biggie, but I liked handcent......but it is well worth the stock texting for the better email and other tweaks 5.2 seems to have.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It appears to have been an issue with chrome. Not sure what was going on but I had limited access myself. Chrome needs an update :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yes polldaddy has been really slow causing the development page to load slowly, I haven't had it not load but it is really taking a bit of time.

That is how I understood the post:

midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Standard Upgrade.zip

Note: This is the ONLY change to the midNIGHT ROM Extras folder since the previous release (midNIGHT ROM v5 (BYOR))

but you may be right being that you did end up on 5.2. I read that as it was only changes to the extras apps and not the rom as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
The v5.2 standard upgrade is for the BYOR Editions ONLY. The ROM changes are found in the base ROM itself. If your on v5.1 you'll need to flash v5.2 then either build your own ROM of flash the standard upgrade zip.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] bosshawg:
Sorry if this is a stupid question...... So if I am currently running version 5.1 (ext 4) do I have to Odin back to stock "pre-rooted" ECO5 and then go from there in regards to re-rooting and so forth. As I read from the blog that is how it sounds but something is telling me that I should be able to simply just do the installation of 5.2.

Thanks in advance!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] djgallis:
first i would like to say GGGGGRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT

OK NOW THE BAD i was kind of really looking forward to the TRUE n FALSE Boot up that Journaling off hadd .. highly up set .. thats it ...

GREAT ROM -- love the (BYOR) aspect ..... even tho i havent mastered what i exaclty want or dnt yet ... you guys are great ...

keep up the good work :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
ptfdmedic (& jdelano) - thanks for the clarification, much appreciated

flashing now
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
Handcent is working great for me, no issues at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
Can a OC Kernel be used like Genocide v1
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Yes that's actually what I'm using
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Well I guess were back to the good ol days with fresh installs via wipe yay. I never really trusted flashing over just to keep data

Its nice but deep down always thought something would screw up fc etc but big ups on new update will be flashing soon. I wonder what's in the change log haven't checked it all out yet been playing the Xbox crysis 2 nice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I think it might be the latest version in the market. I loaded the one out of the midnight extras folder and it worked, when I went to the market it said there was an update for it, as soon as I loaded the update it broke.

I may just wipe and start from scratch again, noticing this morning that the battery life is really bad on this version.....I probably will not get 10 hours off of it, the last version I was in the 25 to 30 hours........but it could just be a bad flash, so I will try that first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] leftkidney:
what does it mean when it says "base only" at the end of the file name

do I need something else to add to this? - is that the extras folder?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yes, you need to flash the standard upgrade zip, this is done so you have the option to just add in what you want or can flash the 'standard' to get the most used apps in one shot.

use the zips in the midnight extras folders to restore other apps or ringtones you like

Hope that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
midNIGHT has proven to be the most stable ROM on the Epic for some time, and 5.2 with Journaling on...I am impressed. Thanks for the efforts Rob. You've outdone yourself again.
